also includes wide format models including the Intuos3 A6 Wide, A5 Wide,
A3 Wide and the A4 Oversize. Intuos3 provides extended functionality
through the ExpressKeys and Touch Strip. For high precision work, each
Intuos3 tablet also offers a resolution of 5,080 dpi and 1,024 levels of

Cintiq 21UX
An Interactive Pen Display that provides the perfect pen-paper
alternative. It enables users to draw, scribble, animate or navigate
directly on the 21” liquid crystal display with the cordless,
battery-free and pressure sensitive pen. Working with the pen on the
display facilitates perfect hand-eye co-ordination meaning most jobs can
be done more efficiently.
Cintiq 12WX
Wacom’s first hybrid product combining the advantages of a Cintiq
interactive pen display with the portability and compact size of a
traditional Intuos3 pen tablet. Offering slimline dimensions comparable
to an Intuos3 A5 Wide, the Cintiq 12WX mixes a high quality, 12.1” TFT
display for direct pen-on-screen drawing, painting and sketching, with
the advanced features and performance consistent with the Cintiq 21UX
and Intuos3 range.
Bamboo Fun
Stylish, white, Bamboo Fun is available in two sizes – small and medium.
It comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements and ArtRage 2.0 creative
software, making it a versatile input device ideal for consumers keen to
develop their creative skills. Users can easily produce more natural and
authentic-looking paintings, sketches and drawings, as well as retouch,
improve, manage and share digital photographs.
